Ever since upgrading to a fortress, Li Ziyu has found that his soul energy is becoming increasingly insufficient. He needs it everywhere, so he has to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Other resources are easy to deal with. At most, you can just find a place to dig them. But soul energy is not the same. It is not easy to get. The quickest way is to obtain it from war. However, soul energy is the core energy of the undead. Without this resource, the undead will be in trouble.
But going to war with the powerful tribes in the central area now is not a good option. He has just upgraded to a fortress, and when he fought against the ratmen, there were many fortress-level lords, but he was still defeated.
Li Ziyu picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then said to Batu Buhe with a wry smile, "Brother Batu, I'm also short of resources. The resources here are really not enough."
Batu Buhe was stunned and asked in confusion, "You're still short of resources? So many indigenous tribes have surrendered to you, and it's still not enough? Is the consumption of skeletons so high?"
Li Ziyu shook his head and said, "Other resources are easy to deal with, but the main thing is soul energy. This thing is not a mine, so it can't be mined. Now I can only get it from corpses, relying on the system to decompose the corpses."
Batubuhe thought about it and nodded in understanding. Skeletons, after all, it was reasonable to obtain useful resources from corpses. It was indeed not as easy to obtain as other resources. So he asked, "What are your thoughts now?"
Li Ziyu didn't look up and said in a low voice, "I don't really want to activate combat mode, but there are too many lords like He Ziping, and they are growing faster and faster, which will always threaten me. Compared to activating combat mode, I don't want to fall behind and be bullied."
I see, this is an attempt to start a war.
Batubuhe raised his eyebrows, knowing Li Ziyu's plan, and said seriously, "War is not something you can do recklessly. There will be great losses. I've learned about your previous battle with the Cancer Alliance. I have to remind you that in many cases, battles of that scale are just small scenes."
"This isn't the world of my previous life. The level of madness far exceeds that of my previous life. Wars involving millions of people can occur at any time. Tens of millions are the largest battlefields in this world. There are even void battlefields. You have to understand that once a war starts and you start wasting time, you're truly doomed."
It would have been fine if Batubuhe hadn't said this, but as soon as he said this, Li Ziyu laughed. He raised his head, and the smile on his face was ferocious and arrogant, which made Batubuhe tremble in his heart. Why is this guy's smile so terrifying?
Li Ziyu leaned back, a terrifying smile on his face, as if muttering to himself, "I'm not afraid of losses, and the Undead aren't afraid of losses either. What I'm afraid of is that I won't be able to control myself, that I might turn into a demon."
Are the undead still afraid of war?
What a joke!
The Undead can be said to be one of the races that loves and is best at war, right?
Although the undead are not of the evil and chaotic camp, but are relatively neutral and lawful, you cannot deny that the undead race develops fastest when they are in a state of war. The more they die, the stronger they become, which is completely the opposite of other races.
The number of low-level skeletons is extremely large, and their intelligence is very low. The Undead do not care how many of them die, but the dead enemies can bring huge benefits to the Undead. Whether it is the opponent's bones or soul energy, they are all needed by the Undead.
So Li Ziyu really didn't care about what Batubu said. At most, he could exchange low-level undead for high-level undead. After a wave of wars, he might have an army composed entirely of high-level undead.
The only thing that worries Li Ziyu is that he is afraid that he will lose his humanity and become a warmongerer, which is something he doesn't want to happen.
Take war for example. You can't start it whenever you want or stop it whenever you want. Once a war starts, you have no control over it.
Especially in this lawless world, it is easier for desperate lunatics to emerge. Power can blind people's eyes and drive them crazy. He has seen many such lunatics in the world chat channel. For the sake of resources and strength, they will do anything and start crazy wars.
Although it is right to become stronger, it is wrong to do things that destroy the world under the banner of becoming stronger.
Li Ziyu is not a saint, nor a perfect pacifist. If the cancerous coalition offends him, he will also start a war, but deep down he wants to be a salted fish. Compared to war, he prefers to enjoy himself. There are so many girls in the other world.
But reality does not allow him to do so. There are many guys like He Ziping in the other world. If these guys develop, they will eventually bring trouble to his head. At that time, whether he likes it or not, he will have to join the chaotic war.
Rather than being dragged into a war without any preparation, it is better to find ways to make yourself stronger in advance so that you can have more control in the future.
Li Ziyu has seen clearly that troubled times are bound to come. It is impossible for the lords and the indigenous people to live in peace, and war will definitely break out. Lords cannot coexist with each other either, because of their different ideas, and war will eventually break out. By then, there will be chaos, and it will be an era where the strong will be king.
Thoughts turned, Li Ziyu looked at Batu Buhe and said, "Brother Batu, besides the central area, are there any interesting places where I can collect resources?"
Batubuhe thought seriously for a while and nodded. "Yes, it is. A lord once told me that in these remote wastelands, many areas are in a state of long-term war. There is no peace at all. In such a place, you can do whatever you want."
Li Ziyu's eyes lit up, and he sat up and asked, "Brother Batu, do you know of such a place?"
